Product overview
Compacted wire rope is presented as a series that includes 6×K and 8×K constructions, with related parallel-lay PWRC(K) and multi-strand compacted constructions covered on dedicated pages. The source library supports construction lists and technical data fields (diameter, weight, tensile strength, MBL). Unverified superiority claims such as higher breaking force, longer life or better multi-layer winding performance are not stated as facts here.

Key technical data
Values vary by construction, core type, diameter and tensile-strength grade.
| Nominal diameter (mm) | Approx. weight (kg/100m) | Tensile strength (MPa) | Minimum breaking load (kN) |
|---|---|---|---|
| See construction sheet | See data sheet | See data sheet | See construction table |
Exact numeric ranges are construction-specific in the source tables. Request the relevant data sheet for diameter, weight, tensile strength and MBL. Source MBL values are not working load limits (WLL/SWL).
Listed applications
The current CWRS technical data lists this rope family for the following uses.
Candidate application links
Planning sources associate compacted families with mining, hoisting, oil/drilling, marine/port and heavy lifting contexts. Product-level fit requires confirmation against the specific construction data sheet.

Frequently asked questions
Which compacted families are covered here?
This page covers the compacted series overview with 6-strand and 8-strand compacted constructions, and points to parallel-lay and multi-strand compacted pages.
Can performance advantages be claimed generically?
No. The source library does not support generic claims such as higher breaking force or longer life without construction-specific evidence.
What data fields are used?
Diameter, approximate weight, tensile strength and minimum breaking load, as shown in the series tables.
